KET/PET基础语法丨Other, others, the other or another
Other, the other和another不仅长相相似
而且都同时也是限定词和代词这两个意思
在使用时很容易出现混淆和书写错误
今天王老师就来带大家区分一下other们吧~
Other
other ="additional or extra", or "alternative", or "different types of".
other as a determiner
other作限定词使用时,可以与不可数名词,以及可数名词复数连用:
Some music calms people; other music has the opposite effect. (different types of music)
What other books by Charles Dickens have you read, apart from‘Oliver Twist’? (additional or extra books)
当other与可数名词单数连用时,需要在前面添加另一个限定词:
I don't like the red one. I prefer the other colour.
Jeremy is at university; our other son is still at school.
注:other作限定词使用时,没有复数形式(others)

other as a pronoun
other作代词用时,根据上下文内容,可以使用复数形式。
